Introduction
Build Your Career. Lead the Charge. Change Healthcare.
The Online Master of Health Administration program was designed to provide you with a blend of leadership and management skills you need to successfully run today’s complex US healthcare systems. Woven into each course are themes of evidence-based management, leadership and ethics, effective communication, and career development. The online program is modeled after our CAHME-accredited, on-campus healthcare management-focused program and provides you with the same caliber of instruction and resources while using innovative tools and technologies for a truly unique learning experience.
To be admitted to the Online MHA, at least one year of full-time experience in a US healthcare-related role is preferred. All applicants must be committed to advancing healthcare in the US.
- INNOVATIVE ONLINE EXPERIENCE
We have taken the best components of our CAHME-accredited, on-campus healthcare management-focused program and brought them online in a part-time program designed with working professionals in mind. You can now access the same resources and faculty, along with innovative online tools and instructional methods.
- DISTINGUISHED FACULTY
Our faculty members are renowned scholars, researchers, and practitioners who hail from senior management positions at some of the most prestigious healthcare systems, organizations, and agencies in the country; many advise and influence US health policy. These highly-accomplished individuals will be your teachers and mentors. During weekly live sessions, in a small setting with an average of 15 students, you will interact with your professors and peers in an intimate online setting to tackle today’s most complex healthcare challenges.
- IMMERSIVE COMPONENT
You will assess case studies and complete assignments with results you can immediately apply to your career. The online program includes an intensive, in-person immersion in NYC with your fellow students in the second term. And in a culminating team project, you will access a state-of-the-art healthcare system simulation working to solve real-world problems using the full range of skills you have developed during the program.
